Q1: In a guitar, two strings A and B made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6 Hz. When tension in B is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to 7 Hz. If the frequency of A is 530 Hz, the original frequency of B will be :    [2020] 
(a) 536 Hz 
(b) 537 Hz 
(c) 523 Hz 
(d) 524 Hz
Ans:
(d)
Frequency of A = fA = 530 Hz, fB = ?
NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Waves | Physics Class 11
when Tension B ↓ then f↓, Beat Freq. ↑ to 7

Q2: A string is stretched between fixed points separated by 75.0 cm. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of 420 Hz and 315 Hz. There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. The lowest resonant frequency for this string is     [2015]
(a) 10.5 Hz
(b) 105 Hz
(c) 155 Hz

So, the difference between any two successive frequencies will be 'n'
According to question, n = 420 – 315 = 105Hz
So the lowest frequency of the string is 105 Hz.

FAQs on NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2024): Waves - Physics Class 11

1. What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?
Ans. Transverse waves are waves in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.
2. How does frequency affect the properties of a wave?
Ans. Frequency affects the pitch of a sound wave and the color of light. Higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches and colors, while lower frequencies correspond to lower pitches and colors.
3. What is the relationship between wavelength and wave speed?
Ans. The wave speed is equal to the wavelength multiplied by the frequency of the wave. This relationship is described by the equation: wave speed = wavelength x frequency.
4. How does amplitude impact the energy of a wave?
Ans. The amplitude of a wave is directly proportional to the energy it carries. A wave with a larger amplitude carries more energy than a wave with a smaller amplitude.
5. How does the medium through which a wave travels affect its speed?
Ans. The speed of a wave is dependent on the properties of the medium through which it travels. For example, sound waves travel faster in solids than in gases due to the denser medium.
